Filter by:This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase I clinical study of anti-SARS-CoV-2 equine immunoglobulin F(ab')2 fragments (INOSARS) to evaluate the safety and antiviral efficacy for the treatment of adult patients with mild COVID-19 and low risk of disease progression.
The main purpose of this research study is to learn the rate of SARS COV-2 on HIV infected children, adolescents, and youth receiving their primary HIV care at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Through SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing of PCR positive and negative cases the study will follow the COVID-19 immune response by monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels over a period of two years. Further, risk factors will be identified by the use of the test-negative design including population controls, allowing comparison of participants with positive and negative tests, and with population controls (triangulation). Special emphasis will be on high risk groups in general and on different occupational, environmental and socio-economic groups in particular. Finally, severity of illness, deaths and the use of health care during will be assessed using national register data from Telemark and Agder.
This study investigates a new diagnostic test in detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19. This may help to improve testing for COVID-19.
The COVID-19 attack is polymorphic with otorhinolaryngological, pneumological, cardiac, digestive, neurological, muscular attacks with a higher mortality in subjects with comorbidity [> 70 years old, cardiovascular history in particular Arterial hypertension (hypertension ), heart disease…]. This polymorphism is linked to vasculitis and the immune response. Patients with cardiovascular disease are particularly at risk of decompensating, particularly due to the increased metabolism induced by viral infection and reduced cardiovascular capacities. On the cardiovascular level, two sides can be considered. On the one hand, cardiovascular disease (hypertension, coronary artery disease) is a comorbid factor. On the other hand, the myocardial damage reflected by the increase in troponin or an alteration of the ejection fraction is a very clear risk factor for death or severe form. Cardiovascular involvement is particularly high in hospitalized and deceased patients. The odds ratio calculated in a meta-analysis of severe forms of covid-19 with hypertension is 3 [1.9; 3.1], for cardiovascular pathologies of 2.93 [1.73; 4.96]. Recommendations were made for pulmonary rehabilitation but not for cardiovascular rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation is indicated in most cardiovascular pathologies (after acute coronary syndrome, after coronary angioplasty, in heart failure, after coronary or valve heart surgery, etc.). It consists of a multidisciplinary approach combining therapeutic pharmacological adjustment, physical activity, therapeutic education in order to improve physical capacities for exertion and reduce morbidity and mortality. The physical exercises can be endurance or resistance type. Capacity gain at the end of rehabilitation is measured by visual scales, quality of life questionnaires, and a stress test at the start and end of rehabilitation. Most often, rehabilitation centers only do the stress test and estimate through questioning for subjective improvement. The hypothesis is that patients who contracted COVID-19 would have lower cardiac capacities after recovery from the infection than patients without COVID-19 or that their capacity for recovery would be less. There could be a difference in recovery after cardiac rehabilitation between the two populations regardless of whether the cardiac damage requiring rehabilitation was triggered by COVID-19 or was pre-existing.
To determine if there is a need for further education on vaccines with psoriasis patients who are on a biologic. In regards to the COVID-19, it is important that psoriasis patients - whether on a biologic or not - understand whether they can have certain vaccines. That will depend on the type of vaccine that becomes available.
This questionnaire is distributed via a mailing list (e-mail) of patients treated within the framework of the FHU for pathologies including chronic inflammatory bowel diseases or IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), inflammatory rheumatic diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis), but also asthma, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis as well as systemic autoimmune (such as scleroderma, lupus, angioedema) and neurological (multiple sclerosis) diseases. A two-step analysis will be conducted: impact of lock down(March 17, 2020 - May 11, 2020) and a 2-month assessment of end of lock down (from May 11, 2020) on issues addressing: overall impact, impact on the disease, treatment and follow-up, and access to information related to the epidemic during these periods.
This is a multi-center, open-label study evaluating the safety of Allocetra-OTS, in 5 subjects with severe COVID-19 and respiratory dysfunction. Subjects, who will be identified as suffering from COVID-19, will be recruited. After signing an informed consent by the patient and, within 24+6 hours following the time of eligibility (time 0), on Day 1, eligible recipient subjects will receive single intravenous (IV) administration of investigational product as described below. Subjects will be hospitalized for COVID-19, and later as medically indicated. Following investigational product (IP) administration (Day 1), subjects will be followed for efficacy and safety assessments through 28 days.
The primary purpose of this research is to determine whether Valproate alone, and in combination with Quetiapine, lowers confusion and agitation in persons with severe Corona Virus Disease (COVID)19 pneumonia during weaning from the breathing machine (ventilator). Though Valproate and Quetiapine are often given to persons with severe confusion with agitation, the purpose of this small research study is specifically for: a) persons infected with COVID 2019 on a ventilator whose agitation is not responding to the usual medications (like dexmedetomidine), and b) to reduce the time persons are treated with dexmedetomidine, which requires continuous close monitoring in an ICU.
Ultrasound can reliably detect morphologic changes associated with pneumonia. Additionally, protocols were elaborated which unify the investigation procedure and improve the intra- and interrater reliability. Moreover, ultrasound is a time and cost-effective and widely available method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the ultrasound of the lungs in predicting the length of hospitalization, of intensive care and of mechanical ventilation in Covid-19 pneumonia. Further aims are the evaluation of the efficacy of the ultrasound of the lungs in predicting the risk of death and of long-term pulmonary complications as consequences of Covid-19 pneumonia.
